Bad Boys...

So, back in the 80s, and to a lesser extent these days, it was hip to introduce a new wrestler, or a new tag team, with a really cool music video.

it was the time of MTV, and Pro Wrestling has always tried its damnedest to catch on with whatever was hot and hip at the moment.

Sometimes, these videos really did the trick, and the fans immediately got into the wrestler.

And sometimes, they left the viewer going "What the FUCK was that?"

This was probably one of them. But the 80s were weird, so you can't be sure. Now though, looking back, it certainly makes ME go "what the FUCK?!?!"

Bear with the boring announcer who spends about 45 seconds droning on about the video, which introduces the team of "The New Generation," featuring Mark Batten and Johnny Wilhoit, who probably went onto very different careers shortly after this video aired.

Please, watch the whole thing, even if you're not a wrestling fan. trust me. Oh yea, and the soundtrack pretty much cinches the fact that if i didn't know this was a pro wrestling promo, i'd wonder if it was for something else altogether..
